I needed to bake some cookies for various people for random favors, so I needed a crowd pleaser that I could make a lot of in a relatively short amount of time. I also didn't really feel like going to the grocery, so I had to make do with what I had. Since I have oatmeal religiously for breakfast every morning, I have a huge can of it that I would happily donate 1.5 cups towards cookies. Also, white chocolate chips happened to be a irresistibly cheap at the store, so I happened to have some of those on hand too. So it was settled: oatmeal white chocolate chip cookies.
I used the following recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/white-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookies/ with a few modifications. I unfortunately did not have pecans (remember I'm on a budget), but I had the exciting addition of 1 tsp cinnamon.... definitely a nice touch. Anyways, the recipe was pretty straight forward so I had no kitchen fails. However, I did learn a valuable lesson that can be expanded to all other aspects of life: trust the process. Even though the cookies only looked half-baked when it is time to take them out, I needed to trust that they would harden up only slightly to be literally the most chewy, delicious cookies ever. And they did. Anyways, 10 of them are sitting in my freezer right now so I can take them to work. Writing this blog is one way to distract myself.
